In 16-bit arithmetic, x * 0xffffc is simply x * -4 with extra overflows, (and the constant was probably meant to be 0xfffc). Combined with the shift, this simplifies to -x >> 1. Finally, clearing the low two bits with a 32-bit mask and switching to a 32-bit type allows more efficient code on 32-bit machines. Signed-off-by: Mans Rullgard <mans@mansr.com>
